Female students from 21 Fayette County elementary and middle schools will celebrate the culmination of a gaming-related project Saturday. The Girls Who Game participants used the Minecraft for Education format as a way to further their Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math skills. Ashley Faulkner is a STEM learning coach in Fayette Schools.
“Our biggest goal is to expose our young students to a future possibility for college and career readiness. So, that is truly the goal so that our girls, our minorities especially, along with any student who participated, could see themselves in a STEM career later on,” said Faulkner.
